Preschool (4-5 Year-Olds)

Location: Room 160A

This fall, preschool children will hear stories brought to us by the letter “R” that reminds us that God is our Rescuer and “I” that reminds us that God is with us—Immanuel. We’ll study the way that God saves his special chosen people the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and leads them into the Promised Land. We’ll see how this salvation story points to an even greater one as we end our semester by preparing to celebrate Christ’s birth during Advent.

Kindergarten-1st Grade

NEW Location: Room 160B

Bible Basics is a year-long curriculum designed with our youngest elementary learners especially in mind. Throughout the year children will grow in their understanding of the building blocks of our faith by investigating essential topics and questions like:

• What is the Bible?
• Who is God and how do we know?
• How do we follow Jesus?
• How do we trust God when hard things happen? • What does it mean to worship?

We’ll spend time reading and discussing Bible stories, wondering, and creating through a variety of hands-on activities that help children make sense of their faith in active ways.

2nd-3rd Grade

NEW Location: Room 204

This fall, 2nd-3rd graders will take a closer look at the Lord’s Prayer. Prayer is one of the greatest gifts that God has given his people, but sometimes it can feel complicated. When Jesus’ first disciples asked, “Lord, teach us to pray,” he provides the Lord’s Prayer as a simple model that can encourage and help us as well. We’ll spend time slowly studying each petition and memorizing it as well.

4th-5th Grade

New Location: Room 201

This fall, 4th-5th Graders will study the book of 1 Samuel. Both boys and girls will meet together in Room 201 for 4 square, crafts, and games before breaking up into small groups for Bible Study.
